Section  8 — Other Events

 

Item 8.01       Other Events.

 

Jerry W. DeCou III, Chairman of the Board of Santa Lucia Bancorp, recently announced that the board of directors of the Company declared a 2% stock dividend to shareholders of record as of March 31, 2010.  The stock dividend will be issued on or about April 23, 2010. Attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1 is a press release, dated March 18, 2010, declaring the 2% stock dividend.  In addition to the press release, Santa Lucia Bancorp will announce the stock dividend through an advertisement placed in a local paper, the form of which is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.2.

 

The Board believes that conserving capital and remaining “well capitalized” is the best course for the Company in the existing economic environment. This dividend by Santa Lucia Bancorp continues the tradition of Santa Lucia Bank’s payment of consecutive cash or stock dividends for the past 21 years.
